Specialist leaders

Meet some of the specialists leading our exceptional, exclusive safaris across the globe.

Meet our specialist leaders

We pride ourselves on having the best guides on all of our safaris; from Africa and Asia, to the Arctic. However, we also run a number of very specialist safaris throughout the world, with real focusses, from fine art wildlife and landscape photography, to exploring with world-renowned, expert naturalists.

These safaris, we call them specialist led, give a unique twist on your safari experience, and are ideal for anyone with specific interests; be it photography or otherwise. They are led by people, famous in their field, and sometime beyond, for their expertise, and amazing skills at sharing their knowledge.

Below you’ll find a selection of some of our very specialist guides. Each section contains a short biography, some of their photos (if relevant), and links to our current safaris with them. Note that the banner on this page is a photo by fine-art photographer, David Yarrow, who is leading an expedition to South Georgia in 2018.

These specialist-led trips are some of the most coveted safaris we offer.
